Rahul calls Sonam Wangchuk’s removal from protest site ‘wrong’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the “removal” of activist Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar while he was on a non-violent hunger strike is “wrong” and alleged that the core tenets of the government are “Asatya and Hinsa (falsehood and violence)”.

The party criticised the police action at Jantar Mantar, after which Wangchuk was shifted, calling it a “blot” on the country’s democracy and



the Constitution.

In a post on X, Gandhi said the core tenets of the Narendra Modi government are “Asatya and Hinsa”. “The removal of Sonam Wangchuk ji from Jantar Mantar while he was on a non-violent hunger strike is wrong,” he said.

Paper leaks, the rising cost of education, and student suicides are critical issues for India’s future, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
